Windstorms claimed the largest proportion of lives 35 while floods accounted for the largest proportion of people affected 75 . Since the mid-1990s there has been an increase in the recorded number of all types of disasters and the number of recorded fatalities resulting from disasters especially in developing areas and despite disaster preparedness programmes. People in low-income countries are 4 times more likely to die from extreme natural events than those in high-income countries. During the 1990s more than two-thirds of the deaths from disasters occurred in Asia which was also the continent most frequently hit by disasters . Although human-made technological disasters reportedly claim fewer lives than natural disasters during 1990-99 they have profound implications for public health. For example about 5 million people including 500 000 children are estimated to have been affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Nearly a decade and a half later there continues to be a large case load of health problems linked to the Chernobyl disaster. Many of the survivors of the 1984 Bhopal industrial disaster a.
